An analog experiment of the parametric instability

Abstract: We show how a simple electronic parametric oscillator can be used to exhibit both supercritical and subcritical bifurcations to a subharmonic oscillatory state as the pump frequency is varied, and study the scaling behavior of the oscillation amplitude in the vicinity of the tricritical point.

“…The first one is a vertically vibrated layer of fluid on which surface waves are generated by the Faraday instability [21]. 3 The second one is an electronic parametric oscillator, closely described by a Mathieu equation with a cubic nonlinearity [22]. The study of these two systems has been motivated by the fact that many damped modes are present in the one involving surface waves whereas this is not the case for the electronic oscillator.…”

“…(2) becomes a Mathieu's equation. Parametric resonance of this system in the presence of damping was analysed both theoretically and with an electronic analog circuit [23]. The systems (1) and (2) exhibit normal and anomalous diffusions for certain range of values of the amplitude and frequency of the periodic force.…”
